Hot Hand
By Mike Lupica
It's simple. All Billy Raynor wants to do is shoot. After all, he is one of the best shooters in the
league. But with his dad as his coach, and his parents newly separated, somehow everything's
become complicated. His brother Ben, the piano prodigy, hardly talks anymore. His mom is
always traveling on business. And his dad is always on his case about not being a team player.
But when Ben's piano recital falls on the same day as the championship game, it is Billy who
teaches his dad the true meaning of being a team player.
